Standout Features:

  • Vibrant and dynamic color palette
  • Playful geometric shapes and patterns
  • Strong cultural and thematic representation

The REAL FEST poster, designed by Quivirgola, serves as a bold and engaging introduction to the festival's multifaceted program. Taking place in Fabbrica Alta, this cultural, musical, and independent festival brings together discussions, music, and social events centered around transfeminism, environmental issues, migration, and conflicts.

The design features a rich combination of warm oranges, vibrant blues, and deep greens, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere. These colors not only capture the eye but also mirror the dynamic, forward-thinking spirit of the festival. The contrasting hues reflect the diversity and inclusivity at the core of the festival’s values.

The poster is divided into sections with blocks of symmetrical patterns, including stars, circles, and squares. Visually, this makes the design much more interesting and provides a pseudo-cultural look with its repeated patterns. Their playful and colorful arrangement also conveys the festival’s welcoming, open-minded atmosphere.

Furthermore, each block or section visually correlates to one of the major themes —transfeminism, the environment, migration, and conflicts — through both the color choices and the arrangement of shapes. This way, the poster communicates the event’s multifaceted nature while remaining rooted in its advocacy for change and inclusivity.

Through its bold color choices, playful geometric patterns, and strong thematic representation, the poster effectively communicates the diversity and inclusivity at the heart of this cultural event. The poster design serves as both an invitation to engage with the festival and a reflection of its core values.
